I have been reading the articles (Stickies) for installing HS4 on Linux. Specifically -- https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...59#post1432459
Shows the 'correct APPS' to install which are different from the original post in the sticky.
I have installed Ubuntu on an HP t610 Thin-Client box with 8GB RAM and a 120GB SSD and the added BroadCOM WiFi and BT card and antennas.
After a little fiddling to get xRDP to work without color or login issues and crashes. I am looking to give the HS4 installation a whirl.
I am currently running the Windows version on an old Thinkpad with Win7 (x86) and 4GB RAM. Granted it has faster CPU, the constant warnings about Windows Updates and Windows 7 EOL - and given that Just about everything in HS is done via web page - thinking I may give LINUX a try.
Here are my questions:
1) Anything other than the apps listed in the article above going to be needed?
2) I see there are steps to get HS4 to run on startup - anything as a 'gotcha' about ROOT access/support I need to be watchful of?
3) I have the HomeSeer SmartStick+ for my Z-Wave which I had to install drivers for it to work on Windows -- I see no mention about them for LINUX. Is it going to auto-detect it and install what is needed?
4) My plans at some point is to use HSTouch to create screens which I am going to use on mounted tablets in my home. Any gotchas?
5) I also have multiple ALEXAs and SmartThings - any gotchas? I have the SmartThings plugin installed on the Windows Install. I also have the BLLock and HSBuddy plugins installed.
Any and all advice is welcome.
